Tim Knox: Franchise Broker At Large… Who knows, maybe I can franchise the concept.Like many real estate investors, I started out investing in real estate using my own money and credit. This worked fine for the first few deals. But eventually, as I purchased 20 to 30 properties, my lender at the time, Washington Mutual, cut me off from further deals and my personal funds dried up. I had built up a great deal of real estate equity, but was locked out from doing other deals with my traditional lender and could barely pay for my own groceries.I had to find another way to fund real estate deals or my investing career was over.This is when I discovered private lenders who have funds to lend for real estate deals, but do not want the headaches and paperwork to actua Last week I promised we'd take a closer look at a few of the things you should look for when considering a franchise opportunity.

I know this because every ticket stub of every show I’ve ever seen since I was 12 lay under a sheet of glass on my coffee table. Some of the stubs are signed by my favorite musicians; some are tattered and torn from the pouring rain through which I stood and sung for hours. Some of the tickets aren’t even tickets! They’re napkins or flyers I stole from the venue because I just HAD to get a memento from every event.And each day when I look at those faded pieces of cardstock, I don’t just think about some of the greatest memories of my life.I think about being a fan.A fan who would stop at nothing to watch his favorite bands play liv The difference in price is reflected in many ways: the viability of the opportunity, the level of training and support offered to the franchisee, the track record and financial stability of the franchisor, the success rate of the franchisees, and a dozen other factors.
